Abstract

An extraperitoneal colostomy is not sufficiently effective in preventing parastomal hernias. On the basis of anatomic structures and mechanical principles, we modified this surgical technique by preserving the integrity of the posterior rectus abdominis sheath to prevent parastomal hernia, and we applied it clinically.

Keywords: abdominal rectus muscles; abdominoperineal resection; colostomy; parastomal hernia; posterior rectus abdominis sheath; rectal cancer.
